Screwed my light cycle up day 48 flower. need help please !!!

[sneaky_g]

Normally the 150 watt HPS and 1000 watt HPS go off together at 9pm last night.. well the 1000 watt HPS went off but the 150 watt HPS stayed on .. Am I fucked ? Should i chop them now? I don't want them to hermie.. or should i continue with their regular 12/12 cycle.. I've got some indicas that should go 55 days and some sativas that should go 85 days.. (kali mist)... advice appreciated..

So bummed out atm.

Advice please, to chop or not too chop..

Chill man,you have done absolutely nothing to harm your plant in any way.I wouldnt suggest making a habit of it though lol dont worry even a little about that

 

[soursmoker]

keep on going 12/12 and you should be ok. maybe do 13 or 14 hours of darkness til harvest every night

 

[sneaky_g]

You don't think they will start forming hermie seeds from that?

 

[soursmoker]

you would need a hermie to make hermie seeds...

what strains you growing?

if its not sour d or chem you should be fine...

kali mist (serious seeds), girl scout cookie clone, northern lights seedling, purple kush clone, mango, and 1 other..

you see i've been fighting root aphids since 60 days into veg on the kali mist after i spent days building a custom box.. which really sucked.. i was winning the battle.. out of 6 kali mist seedlings, only 2 went yellow. treatments, of vacuuming every day, azamax, yellow stickies, purchasing capulator's foliar pack .. so I know the RA did damage to 2 of my kali pretty severe i wont yield alot.. but the clones that i took are really green 45 days inton flower... they are in 5 gallon.. and everything else is developing nicely .. don't see too much damage from the RA with the preventatives i used.

so when i woke up at 7am i noticed the light was on, I immediately turned off the 150 watt hps, so they have been in darkness from 7:30am-8:55 AM. Should I turn the lights back on in 5 minutes (9:00am) which would resume my regular schedule (9am-9pm lights on) ?? or would you guys advise a different schedule.. its a 4x8 box and the 150 watt HPS that was on when i woke up (from 9pm-7am) was laying horizontally on lower growth but eluminating most of the box without the 1000 HPS on.

I'm thinking i'll just turn the lights on at 9am (4 minues from now) and make sure they continue the 9pm-9am lights off.. what do you guys think

 

[BullnAChinaShop]

Yes, just resume your normal schedule. You will be fine.

 

[soursmoker]

yeah that will work.

 

[sneaky_g]

Thanks so much guys for you're advice..

When ever you must interrupt or change a cycle always use dark hours not light hours to make the adjustment.If you go from 6 AM to 6 PM but want to change to 6 PM to 6 AM possibly for heat reasons,leave the lights off the extra 12 hours.Hope that made sense.Its always the number of dark hours that will determine if a plant will flower,not the amount of light hours

 

[sneaky_g]

Darnit so i didn't use dark cycle instead.. i turned lights back on at 9am after i had turned them off at 7am ... so they went dark for 2 hours, now the lights are back on. and they have been on for almost 3 hrs .. what should i do?

My normal schedule was 9am-9pm lights on and 9pm-9am lights off.. Its almost noon my time so almost 3 hours that lights have been on ..

You should sit back and scratch wherever it feels best lol.Man absolutely nothing is going to change you really need to not worry about non-events

misinfo being spread ... and yes this could cause a hermi.. but if it only happened one time. then continue 12 12 and hope for the best.. id say about 70% of female plants will hermi with stress or lite leaks. the other 30% are hard to get to hermi. even if ur tryin to ..
